A Piano Fell on Her Head

Hot on the tail of yesterday’s post about internet people sharing too much information with the rest of us (us being The Collective Internet of Strangers), a Warcraft player chronicled his recent real life difficulties with his pregnant girlfriend.

He subsequently deleted his post (or it was modded into the Internet Abyss — who knows, mods never explain these things), but thanks to the wonders of the Google cache, it was preserved in all its glory for a Warcraft forum discussion. (No need to check the discussion; it’s just 20 pages of bullshit. The real meat was in the original post.)

The veracity of this story is even more suspect than yesterday’s, but I reprint it here so that all may enjoy the creative skills of a fellow player. This is a little side benefit of the Warcraft servers imploding on patch day … 1.5 million bored people looking to stir up a little trouble.

I must warn you: this story is as disturbing as it is fascinating. I’m like everyone else, though: I love a good felony story.

Modern Art

Never underestimate the value of subtle wit.

Over the weekend, I was passing through Ironforge (slowly, ever so lagfully slowly) when I ran into a naked, green orc corpse floating in midair by the Auction House bridge. Haha, thought I — I never tire of visual humor.

Then I looked closer. It was another player’s visual tribute to Scamsalot and the inexplicable delays in banning his rotten ass from our server.

Scamsalot is back

Another hour or two later, I was again inching my way through Ironforge and the same player had made another visual tribute to Scamsalot, this time on top of the bank mailbox.

He’s still back!

Well played, mystery Ironforge artist. Well played.

Can’t the Warcraft forum moderators have even one night of peace at home with their families?? Can’t they leave 1.5 million people unsupervised for one holiday evening without worrying that all Hell will break loose when the 1.5 million can’t authenticate and login? Can’t Hell remain contained for even one night?

In hindsight, maybe they should have left at least one guy on duty.
